The connection between changes in the Arctic Ocean’s ice cover and bromine chemical processes is determined by the interaction between the salt in sea ice, frigid temperatures and sunlight. Bromine also can remove ozone from the lowest layer of the atmosphere, the troposphere.

Although separate programs are in place to research and manage both air quality and climate change effects, these problems are not separate and in fact are intimately connected. The complex roles that ozone and aerosols play in the atmosphere provide examples of such trade-offs. 2010 CalNex Science and Implementation Plan.

Photochemical Ozone Creation Potential (kg Ethene equivalent). Quantifies the production of pollutant ozone (? to ozone layer), the results of the reaction of sunlight on NO x and volatile organic compounds. water, and non-renewable energies (crude oil, coal.) Characterizes the acid substances increase (NO x , SO 2.)

Mikhail Chester and Arpad Horvath inventoried on-road, rail, and air travel to determine energy consumption, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and criteria air pollutant (CAP) emissions (excluding PM, lead, and ozone due to lack of data). 83% of rail passenger kilometers are performed by metropolitan systems (with Amtrak serving the remaining).

A few studies also include other relevant impact indicators as acidification potential, eutrophication potential, ozone depletion potential and various toxicity potentials. However very few studies include water use impacts. In their paper on the impact of ethanol production on nutrient cycles and water quality, Simpson et al.

Take, for example, the tens of thousands of fossil-fueled ships that chug across the ocean, spewing plumes of pollutants that contribute to acid rain, ozone depletion, respiratory ailments, and global warming. Such clouds might be less likely to produce rain, and the retained cloud water would keep albedo high. Kate Murphy.
